My Review
I gave this 4.5 Goodread Stars/ 5 Amazon Stars
I hated Sam by the end of In a Lifetime, he redeemed himself a little in In an Instant and I fell in love with him reading In the End. I think some of his transformation happened during In a Heartbeat (which I haven't read yet). Warning this book contains spoilers for In a Heartbeat, though when I do get around to reading it I know I'm going to love it.
Sam was back to the loving, kind and sexy guy we met at the start of In a Lifetime. In this book he meets Natasha and her daughter Paige. Natasha has had an awful 5 or 6 years and unsurprisingly has trust issues. I can't blame Sam for keeping his secret because I don't think Natasha would have stuck around if he'd said anything sooner. I like that Ariadne Wayne wrote some chapters from Matt's POV - it really lends another aspect to the book and deepens the story.
Some of the couples in Ms Wayne's books can appear a little too loved up and free of any conflict, but this is always balanced with plenty of angst, heartache and misery too. I always know that my emotions will be put through the wringer when I read one of her books. There are always so many strands to these books, all of which are woven together into a rich tapestry of a good book.
I like the style of writing, it flows smoothly, is easy to read, has good pace and natural dialogue. The editing is always good too. I read this book through in one sitting, and I know these characters will be ones I remember long after the book has been closed.
